What is the diagnosis when SPEP and immunofixation show polyclonal gammopathy but FLC ratio is marginally elevated with slightly high kappa chains ? My mother's SPEP and immunofixation, both are negative for monoclonal proteins but positive for polyclonal gammopathy. However, her kappa chains are slightly high, at 33.5 (Ref- 3 to 19.5) Her ratio is 1.94 (Ref- 0.26 to 1.65) No CRAB features. Is it multiple myeloma? Or can these elevations be due to polyclonal gammopathy as well ?
